“…Especially in the surface microlayer, dibutyltin and tributyltin were concentrated, occasionally by a factor of 104 relative to the subsurface water resulting in concentrations as high as 2600 and 60 p~g/liter, respectively. Therefore, at various sampling sites, the reported tributyltin levels approached or exceeded concentrations demonstrated to be lethal for sensitive aquatic species (Maguire et al, 1982(Maguire et al, , 1986Stebbing, 1985). In France and England, a falling in the oyster fisheries was noticed, which was correlated with the occurrence of tributyltin compounds in coastal waters.…”

“…Recently, organotin concentrations with varying intensity were determined in the United States (Hodge et al, 1979;Seligman et al, 1986), Canada (Maguire et al, 1982(Maguire et al, , 1986, France (Alzieu and Heral, 1984), Turkey (Tugrul et al, 1983), Switzerland (Mueller, 1984), and the United Kingdom (Cleary and Stebbing, 1985). In general, butyltin concentrations seemed to depend on boating activity and tidal influence.…”

“…Thus, for sample 21 (site 11), [DBT] in the microlayer is 31 times the highest summer concentration of the species in the water column at Msida Creek; microlayer [TBT] in sample 24 from the same site is 5 times the highest winter aquatic concentration measured in the same area. One expects to find enhancement of lipophilic organotins in the hydrophobic microlayer and this effect has indeed been observed in samples collected from the Atlantic ocean and Canadian lakes [26][27][28]. Also, in the microlayer, the physical conditions and microbiological activity are known to be conducive towards the effective degradation of TBT into its metabolites [20].…”

“…Even after the restriction of its uses, TBT deposited in sediments remains an important exposure source for marine biota many years to come due to its relative stability under anoxic sediment conditions [4,10,11]. The bioaccumulation of TBT and its metabolites (dibutyltin and monobutyltin) in food chains and food products has lately attracted a considerable attention on human health effects [3,15,17].…”

“…65(12): 1331-1335, 2003 Tributyltin (TBT) has been widely used as a biocide in such applications as antifouling paints of boat and for other purposes, until its use restricted in 1980's after discovery of severe damage on aquatic ecosystem caused by the agent [4,11,16]. Even after the restriction of its uses, TBT deposited in sediments remains an important exposure source for marine biota many years to come due to its relative stability under anoxic sediment conditions [4,10,11].
